Marcus shoved in at 15 again. Will he ever get played at 10 for

(Obviously not.)

Or Ford.
My guess would be that Murley or Radwan would go to fullback

I did too but wondered about pace and the fact that I don't
think Borthwick trusts him for some reason

Picking players who are too slow for their position never seems
to have troubled Borthwick in the past.
